Who's hunting the high buck hunt?

[Mooner]

I am heading up to Pasayten with the old man!! We hunt up Harts pass and hike in the morning of!! This year im taking the robinson creek trail from the top all the way back to camp which is around a 11 mile hike!!! Cant wait

We will be doing a drop camp out of Harts pass.  Getting pretty excited, first time getting packed in!

The hunting has been pretty bad down low for a few years, we are looking to find fewer people and get away from the road hunters.

Damn! Dare I say it might be a little crowded up in the high country?

Don't expect fewer hunters on the high hunt, in some spots its worse thanthe general season.

Pack your woolies kids.   Its an early one this year.   There are some places that it already dumped a foot of snow.  Most has melted off or rained off, but its a wet one.

Last time I was on the high hunt in the ALW there were more hunters and hikers than I could handle.  Set camp up at 8+ miles and each direction I went each day there was always somebody.  Very frustrating     With that being said I will be at next year after taking a year off.  Make it about every two to three years after the aching muscles and frustration wear off.  All it took was for me to do this hunt once and I have been hooked eventhough it is some of the worst weather I have had to endure while hunting.  Always carry a few golfball size rocks in your pockets, they will serve as some good ammunition for taking a dinner of grouse back to camp

We will be going with alta lake outfitter and are getting packed in 9 miles in the pasayton. We will be leaving on the 13th

Used Scott from 3 Peaks Outfitters a few years ago, they were very accomodating and I would use them again.

Havent seen any hunters in the Lake Chelan Rec Area also havent seen many deer...but the no hunters and few hikers make up for the no deer.

We just got back from the Pasayten via Early Winters outfitting.  We had a great tme and really appreciate the drop camp service.  No complaints at all, we didn't see even one other hunter.  Unfortunately we didn't find the bachelor herd and came away empty handed with the exception of grouse and fish.  Overall though, it was a great experience.  We had some bad weather that limited visibility for about 3 or 4 days and we were really just figuring out how to hunt it when we were out of time.  The horses were awesome and the guys who hauled us in and out were great as well.

this was the first HH I have missed in 10 years. I was fortunate enough to tear my ac ligament which crushed my HH for the year. I will be back at it soon, in better shape then ever!
